I am currently using:-

• A desktop with Windows 8.1 Pro Retail x64 - upgradable to Windows 10 Pro
• A laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium x64 (HP OEM) - upgradable to Windows 10 Home

I think in that case, it wont check for the existing version. It wil be same as installing it over a Windows XP or a Windows 3.1 or even a Linux.

The only thing that could have let the setup know the intended version is the product key, which in my case should not be en
